Load Symbol, via Symbol Type (P+ID)

P+ID > Symbol > Load symbol

If you invoke the Load symbol function, the illustrated symbol selection window is displayed. Symbols are indicated in the list by • , "0"-symbols with O.

You can:

select the symbol by its Name
select a Gauge symbol
select a Symbol type from the list
select a variable symbol.

Pick the required option and select OK to exit the window.

Determine the position of the symbol by specifying the fitting point.

Before specifying the fitting point, you can select a transformation option for the symbol. Do do this, right-click to activate the context menu with the transformation functions.

Depending on the symbol type, the fittings may entail automatic actions.

Notes:

When a symbol is inserted in a connection, HiCAD checks to see if it determines a flow direction and if so whether the direction of fitting matches the flow direction (if given) of the connection. If it does not, the symbol is automatically rotated 180°.
